The following draft Bill will be debated during
this years General Synod. For further information on amendments and
passage through General Synod please contact the General Synod Press Office.
BILL NO 12
Explanatory Memorandum
In the year 1999, the General Synod passed the first statutes of a
long series of liturgical legislative provisions which have been
considered by Synod over the following three years; the provisions
of these statutes, when brought fully into operation will, together
with the provisions of various enactments already in operation, form
part of the Book of Common Prayer (2004), the third edition of the
Book since the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland.
Accordingly, clause 1 and Schedule I seek to provide that 6 June
2004 (Trinity Sunday 2004) shall be the date of commencement for the
relevant provisions of the various liturgical statutes of 2000-2003.
In clause 2 the order of offices is listed. In this order, where, in
a few instances such as Morning and Evening Prayer, a service is
listed as ONE or TWO this is simply for ease of reference and in
each case ONE will refer to traditional the language version of
the service and TWO to the service in Alternative Prayer Book
(1984) form as amended in the light of practical usage and of recent
liturgical scholarship. In all cases the relevant services are as
approved by General Synod.
Finally, in clause 3 and Schedule II provision is made for the
repeal of several liturgical statutes which, by virtue of the
provisions of the 2004 edition of the Book of Common Prayer, will
become redundant. These statutes made provision for services which
were originally included in Alternative Occasional Services (1993)
and which in a revised form have now been included in and so
superseded by the Book of Common Prayer (2004).
